2| There's probably not a single person on the planet who hasn't heard the earth shattering news:
Ben & Jerry's will no longer sell ice cream to Israelis living in occupied #Palestinian land.
3| Reminder: Transferring your civilian population to a territory your army is occupying "Attempts to alter the demographic composition of an occupied territory" and is "unlawful and engages State responsibility and criminal responsibility of individuals."
ihl-databases.icrc.org/customary-ihl/…
4| Ben & Jerry's who insist on doing #business in Israel (benjerry.com/about-us/media…) should take into account the fact that,on top of the crime of civilian transfer into occupied territory,Israel is also simultaneously engaging in the removal of an ethnically identified population.
5| The removal of an ethnically identified population (un.org/en/genocidepre…) and its replacement with another population (see above), are two separate #WarCrimes, which together amount to #genocide.
6| For convenience sake, here's the @UN Convention of Prevention of Genocide un.org/en/genocidepre…
7| The Ben & Jerry's case sheds light on another interesting topic. For several years now, Israel has been pushing for laws to criminalise #BDS around the world.
8| Which have had some almost-comical repercussions, if you find #fascism funny.
9| While it may seem bizarrely presumptuous that Israel is attempting to make laws for people outside its jurisdiction, it's a mindset that flows organically if your existence hinges on #colonialism (i.e. taking what isn't yours and claiming that it is).
10| To read more on the topic of Israel curbing your #FreeSpeech no matter what country you live in, go here legislation.palestinelegal.org
11| To those taken aback by the severity of Israel's response to Ben & Jerry's not wanting to profit off its war crimes, here are other examples of Israeli entitlement to #corporate goods and services:

🛍 Israeli colonists vs. @McDonalds
13| 🛍 American potential colonists vs. #Airbnb
14| 🛍 Israel vs. The Irish Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill
15| 🛍 Israel vs. European Court of Justice theguardian.com/world/2019/nov…
16| Celebrities, no one understands Israel's brutal response to criticism like the #indigenous Palestinian people, they ask that you too have #courage, refuse complicity with #apartheid, and #boycottIsrael! thenation.com/article/world/… #inourhands

1| I try to focus on a single story in every post, but I want us to have proportions. So let's compare and contrast #Israel's response to @benandjerrys's not wanting to be complicit in its #WarCrimes, to Israel's actual war crimes.

2| The beautiful soul in this picture is 11 year-old Mohammad ‘Allami, who was executed by Israel's army, when he was convincing his daddy to go back to a shop to by him something. Mohammad's sister was also in the car, she wasn't physically injured. Image
3| Mohammad 'Allami is the 312th indigenous #Palestinian to be killed by Israel's army since the beginning of 2021, the 52nd to be executed in the #WestBank, the 76th #child executed in total, the11th child to be executed in the West Bank.

1| #Ceasefire rages on as the #OnlyDemocracyInTheMiddleEast™ continues street #executions, and corpse abduction of #indigenous people under its military regime 👇 #NotTheOnion🍍

2| Israel's army shot and killed Shadi Salim (41), at #Beita junction, making him the 311th indigenous #Palestinian, to be killed by Israel's army since the beginning of 2021, and the 51st Palestinian to be killed from the #WestBank.

3| Israel's last #execution was carried out just 6 days ago, when soldiers invaded the town of #NabiSaleh, and shot 16 year-old Mohammad Tamimi in the back.

2| What caught my eye in this @guardian article was the quote:

“In Israel there is a strong political movement to make #diplomacy through #business. Business first, diplomacy later. When you make a deal together, it opens a lot of doors to diplomacy.”
3| The notion that #profits trump #consent is rather disturbing, but perfectly in line with the product- #spyware.

No spine, no #journalism ethics. @SkyNews serves as the mouth piece of Israel's army, now busy committing #GenocideinGaza.

We better be seeing some serious disciplinary action.
At least they didn't straight out call for #genocide like @Newsweek, because that's how low the standards are.


And here disciplinary action is not enough, a criminal investigation for #HateCrime and #IncitementToGenocide.
And since I'm on a roll, let's talk about the @CNN apologia for #genocide.

I'd like to reiterate a few points I made last night about the @newyorkerunion #FromtheRivertotheSea statement, so here's a throwback thread 👇

Israel's moderate voices - a case study in 4 parts:

1⃣ "Pointless", much like the more common "senseless", often in conjunction with the word "violence", obfuscates the fact that violence and cruelty are never pointless. They have a very poignant goal- domination, land, money.
2⃣ If there's colonisation (i.e. genocide), there's resistance. Not the other way around.
3⃣ Genocide is not a spectator sport.
